Roaming laptops - Users are always a health threat for any network. While laptops are away from the company, they might not receive the most recent software updates, antivirus updates, or configuration changes. Laptops might also be infected while exposed to unsecured networks, such as the Internet Cafe, Airports Networks e.t.c. When this laptops that these "Roaming Users use" bring back to Company might not meet network requirements and can present health risks.
The Network Access Protection (NAP) feature in Windows Server 2008 platform, provides an integrated way of detecting the state of a network client that is attempting to connect to a network. When Roaming Laptops connect to Company local area network (LAN), they must meet specific health requirements, such as having recent updates installed. If they can’t meet those health requirements, they can be quarantined to a network where they can download updates, install antivirus software, and obtain more information about how to meet the requirements of the LAN. When this process finish NAP provides a mechanism to automatically bring the client back into compliance and allowing full access to Company Network.
